Nashville Predators News

Chrona has been reassigned to the San Jose Barracuda (AHL).

Chrona took over starting duties for the Sharks after Kaapo Kahkonen was traded but will return to the AHL after Mackenzie Blackwood has been activated from IR. Chrona's most recent outing was the worst of his young career, allowing eight goals on 40 shots (.800 SV%) in an 8-2 loss to the Nashville Predators.

Murray has been recalled from Texas (AHL) and will back up on Wednesday.

Murray was recalled to backup Jake Oettinger on Wednesday as Scott Wedgewood will be away from the team for the birth of his child. The 26-year-old Murray played one game for Dallas earlier this season and recorded his first career shutout.

Annunen will start on Tuesday in St. Louis.

After being a workhorse for most of the season, Alexandar Georgiev will serve as the backup to Annunen for the fourth time in the last nine games. Annunen has been tremendous when called upon lately, winning three straight and saving 86 of the last 88 shots he faced (.977 SV%). The Avalanche enter action as -208 road favourites on Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues.

Chrona will start on Tuesday vs. Nashville.

The Sharks have relied heavily on Chrona since Kaapo Kahkone was traded to the New Jersey Devils and he will return to the crease for the sixth time in the last seven games. Chrona's performance thus far has been inconsistent, a byproduct of playing for a defensively troubled Sharks club. He has one win this season (1-5-1) along with a 4.23 GAA and .869 SV%.

Saros will start on Tuesday vs. San Jose.

The Predators will turn to Saros for the fourth straight game as they continue their push for the playoffs and attempt to extend their two-game winning streak.

Stastney (upper body) is out week-to-week after leaving Thursday's game early due to injury.

Stastney returned to the Predators lineup on Wednesday but abruptly exited the contest after playing 13:27 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury. Stastney spent an early portion of the season with the Predators but has spent most of the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL. In 44 games with the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL), he has 20 points (5G / 15A).

Chrona will start on Saturday in Columbus.

The Sharks will return to Chrona between the pipes on the front end of a back-to-back on Saturday, his fifth straight start. The 23-year-old Chrona has struggled in his first NHL season, allowing four or more goals in four of seven appearances (1-4-1), posting a miserable .872 SV%. The Sharks will visit a Columbus Blue Jackets team riding a three-game losing skid.

Chrona will start on Thursday vs. Pittsburgh.

With the recent departure of Kaapo Kahkonen in a trade to the New Jersey Devils, Chrona has started the last three games for the Sharks and will return to the crease on Thursday. In his last four games, Chrona allowed seven goals once but has been serviceable otherwise, keeping the opposition to three or fewer goals in the other three contests (1-2-1). That said, the Sharks are sizeable +267 road underdogs despite facing a Pittsburgh Penguins club that has been abysmal lately, being outscored 17-2 during a four-game losing skid.

Saros will start in Winnipeg on Wednesday.

The Predators will hand Saros the start for a league-leading 53rd time this season when they travel to Winnipeg to take on the Jets on Wednesday. Nashville's workhorse took the loss his last time out, allowing four goals on 33 shots in a 4-3 overtime defeat at the hands of the Wild. Despite the loss, Saros was able to earn his team a point for the ninth consecutive game. He could have a hard time keeping that streak alive on Wednesday, however, with the Predators being +130 underdogs in Winnipeg.

Chrona will start on Tuesday in Philadelphia.

With the departure of Kaapo Kahkonen, Chrona has been thrust into a larger workload for the Sharks and will start his third straight game on Tuesday. Chrona has showcased mixed results so far but is coming off his first career victory, saving 31 of 32 shots (.969 SV%) in a 2-1 win over the Ottawa Senators. That said, the Sharks are significant +279 road underdogs against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Annunen will start on Tuesday vs. Calgary.

Annunen has started two of the last five games for the Avalanche and will return to the crease on Tuesday night. The 24-year-old netminder has only allowed two total goals across his last three games (2-0-1) and is riding a two-game shutout streak, saving 61 consecutive shots. Colorado enters action as a -164 road favourite against the Calgary Flames.
